Many people have been asking how to effectively bootstrap enough capital for a Lightning channel. Our costs for a channel lease are pretty low (~6k sats) - but what if you don't have any Bitcoin to begin with?
1) Try the new ZEUS alpha
2) Get a free Cashu Lightning address through ZEUS Pay
3) Put it in your Nostr profile and accumulate zaps
4) When you have enough sats for a self-custodial channel, you’ll be prompted to upgrade!
